The piece urges bipartisan cooperation to support Governor Buchtel, urging Democrats and Republicans to aid his administration. It notes his one term pledge and calls for active help from both sides to enact beneficial legislation and ensure an efficient government over the next two years.
Northern Colorado’s rebuke to Patterson and Pattersonism cost the territory one of its post district judges. Returns after election showed Christian A. Bennett defeated in the general republican landslide. The editorial notes surprise and regret at the loss and reflects on the broader political shift.
The piece argues Judge Bennett should have remained on the bench for six years of experience and maturer judgment. It notes voter fear of scratching ballots hurt Bennett and other Democratic candidates, critiques the primal election laws and the Australian ballot, and suggests lawmakers may act after the election while urging readers to follow Tribune editorials.
The piece discusses continuing political engagement for two years with farmer outreach and local residents. It notes high rates of scratched ballots in Greeley, contrasts country and city voting patterns, and argues for ending straight party tickets to encourage individual voter study.
William Jennings Bryan draws hope for democracy from recent party upheaval and criticizes President Roosevelt for backing Secretary Root against Hearst's New York gubernatorial bid. The piece argues Hearst aims to become president and uses the New York post as a springboard, labeling him a demagogue stirring class conflict with yellow journalism. Roosevelt’s intervention in the New York campaign is defended as prudent.
Senator James W. McCreery spoke at the Colorado State Commercial association meeting in Fort Collins, detailing irrigation and dry farming.

A fragment argues that reputational harm to the state is outweighed by gains from a twenty acre irrigated tract, which is deemed superior to the best dry land in the region, in unusually productive years.
